Amsterdam bans creation of new hotels
Another piece in the overall strategy to reduce tourist flows to the city
Mask requirement has dropped for 35 streets and squares. An overview of the new rules.
The Berlin Senate made the decision to lift mask requirements for outdoor areas on Tuesday, 15 June 2021. Previously, masks were mandatory on 35 busy streets and squares, as well as the two Berlin zoos. Now, as things are starting to get back to normal, and Covid-infection rates have been steadily dropping for the past week, the city felt confident to reopen more areas.
Mayor Michael Müller expressed his satisfaction with the significant drop in infection rates in a press conference after the Senate meeting.
However, masks must still be worn on public transport. Mr Müller also commented on that: "It is getting more crowded. We're working less from home; we have more tourists in the city and the pandemic is not over yet.“
Here are the details of yesterday’s resolution:
Covid-cases are down all across Europe and everywhere cities are breathing a sigh of relief, as the rate of hospitalisations drop. At a first glance, things seem to be returning to normality.
However, this sense of security could be false as new and more contagious variants of COVID-19 are emerging. This is why Berlin’s vaccination centres will remain open, probably past September.
